David Geffen, DreamWorks cofounder and Hollywood mega-producer, just off-loaded his most recent mega-million-dollar home in the form of his $24.5 million New York City co-op. Geffen originally purchased the two-bedroom, two-and-a-half bathroom Fifth Avenue apartment for $14.17 million in 2010, and listed it for a hopeful $27.5 million in September 2016. Now, the new owner is Russian-American gas and mining billionaire Eugene Shvidler. The unit, which measures approximately 5,000 square feet, was imagined by American architectural icon Charles Gwathmey, and is luxurious in every sense of the word. The top-floor apartment features a large, open great room, a wet bar, an eat-in kitchen with a stainless-steel-and-wood aesthetic, and a bedroom that has since been converted into a soundproofed library and screening room that naturally comes with a state-of-the-art projectionist booth. The great room, which serves as a combination living and dining room, has a trio of giant windows that run along one wall of the space, providing enviable views of Central Park and the Plaza Hotel. Elsewhere in the home, the master suite features a boutique-style fitted dressing room and a contemporary, spa-style en suite bathroom. The other bedroom features double-exposure views of Central Park via two walls of windows.

Even though he no longer owns this particular unit, Geffen still has a stake in the building itself: The producer, often acknowledged as Hollywood’s richest man, still owns two other multimillion-dollar apartments in the building, including a $2.3 million one-bedroom, one-and-a-half bathroom middle-floor apartment and a 12,000-square-foot triplex penthouse that he purchased for $54 million in 2012. Amenities in the high-end building—including a 24-hour staffed lobby, a private fitness club, and a mail and newspaper delivery service—cost residents a whopping $12,000 per month in maintenance fees. His latest sale comes hot on the heels of several other property deals. Last summer, he sold his Malibu compound for an eye-popping $85 million, and another oceanfront home for $8 million shortly afterward. The previous year, Geffen let go of his East Hampton estate for an impressive $67.3 million (though he did, notably, pick up a beachfront property nearby soon after that).
